The problem of testing in education is relevant for many countries. Testing solves three problems. The first task is to assess the quality of current training. The second task is to conduct a comparative analysis of learning outcomes. The third task is the management of the educational process in a particular educational institution and in the education sector. This determines the relevance of testing and the relevance of developing new methods for assessing test results. The article proposes a new method for assessing test results for different situations: “teacher– student”, computer test, virtual testing model, test on a mixed reality model and others. To solve the problem, a special quasi-sigmoidal function is introduced. It is analogous to the logistic function, but takes into account the peculiarities of real testing of students. The logistic function ranges from minus infinity to plus infinity. There are no negative assessments in education. The introduced function lies only in the positive range of the argument. It describes actual positive scores when testing students. The authors called this function the complexity function. With its help, the complexity of the subject is assessed according to the test results. To substantiate the method, the function of the logarithms of the odds, logistic regression and the resulting Rush method are investigated. The article notes two shortcomings of the Rush method. The testing principle has been defined for the new function, which is used to estimate complexity. The article introduces two new concepts: the test difficulty function and the integral test score. Integral assessment of testing is a smooth function and makes it possible to go from a stepwise dependence to a continuous one. The cumulative test score translates the point test results into a continuous function and creates a correlation between the scores. The results of an experiment with the participation of RTU MIREA students are presented. The experimental results are analyzed. The possibility of using the method in educational processes is shown. The method is an alternative to the Rush method.

The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by the importance of interaction between teachers and students in modern higher education, as well as the need to cover the psychological features of such interaction from the point of view of developing a qualitative assessment of their role and place in the educational process of a higher educational institution. The purpose of the study is to formulate psychological aspects of “teacher-student” communication within the educational space to identify methods of its regulation. The leading approach of the research is a combination of theoretical analysis of the main aspects of pedagogical interaction between teachers and students in an educational institution taking into account the main functions and tasks of each of the groups under consideration and structural synthesis of the features of this type of interaction based on psychological factors of communication on the scale of a higher educational institution. The research considers issues related to the psychological features of pedagogical interaction between teachers and students in modern higher education. Qualitative indicators of communicative relations of subjects of the educational process, in particular teachers and students, are determined. The key psychological features of pedagogical interaction in the “teacherstudent” system are highlighted, including the development of trust in the authority of the teacher, taking into account students' individual factors in the process of studying subjects within the programme, maintaining a positive psychological climate in subject-subject relations. The necessity of developing a qualitative assessment of the level of communication between teachers and students as an objective factor for further assessment of the overall level of their pedagogical interaction effectiveness and the psychological characteristics of each of the groups under consideration is emphasised. The results and conclusions of the research are of practical value both for modern applicants for higher education and for representatives of the teaching staff of modern higher educational institutions concerned with the problems of building high-quality communication among each other, taking into account the individual characteristics and qualities of each group

The purpose of the study is to analyze the experience in organizing the learning process at a university using digital technologies, aimed at realizing the content of pedagogical education in the context of its structural components and indicators of students’ readiness to work in an educational institution. The positive and negative aspects of the use of IT- technologies in the formation of the experience of professional and pedagogical activities of students in the direction of “Pedagogical education” are noted. The relevance of using digital technologies in the educational process is dictated by the prevailing socio-cultural conditions, the development of information and communication means of transmission and information. At the same time, the problem is the unwillingness of the faculty, students, to their use for several reasons: news, illiteracy, lack of equipment in detail-spatial environment of technical means, the quality of Internet connection. And technologies which provide ability to save dialogicality pedagogical culture, allowing to establish a dialogue in the systems “teacher-student”, “student-teacher” and the polylogue “student-teacher-students” are particularly in demand. The use of the technology “Immersion in professional and pedagogical activity through culture with the support of the teacher” allows the teacher to conduct a dialogue with students and purposefully form their readiness for pedagogical activity in modern conditions based on the acceptance of the values of pedagogical culture and identification in her, personal and semantic attitude to labor functions for the provision of educational services for the main educational programs of educational organizations of different levels.

The article is devoted to the problem of a conflict in the multicultural social and educational environment of a university of the Russian Federation. Based on existing foreign and domestic concepts for the study of a social conflict as a concept and the results of numerous studies, the authors proposed a definition of the concept of “a social conflict in a multicultural social and educational environment of the university”, based on its genesis. The study made it possible to look at a social conflict as a phenomenon that upsets the social equilibrium in a higher education institution and interpret it as a kind of a social interaction, acting as a value-oriented contradiction between the subjects of the educational process, where the multicultural socio-educational environment serves as a “fabric” woven from countless interactions subjects. Relying on the principles of G. Simmel's theory, which allows analyzing a social conflict in a higher educational institution from the standpoint of a social interaction of subjects, the article highlighted the dyadic relationship of conflict manifestations in terms of: “rector's office — university team”, “teacher — student”, “teacher — teacher”, “student — student”, “student — educational support staff”. The essence, characteristics and the structure of social conflicts inherent in higher educational institutions are revealed. The causes of the emergence, patterns of the behavior of subjects in conflict situations and strategies of the behavior in conflict-subject-subject relations are highlighted. The proposed mechanisms for the regulation of social conflicts in the university, implying empathy, identification, reflection, mediation. Based on the available scientific and methodological research in the field of multiculturalism, the authors clarified the concept of “multicultural social and educational environment of the university” in relation to the study and defined organizational and pedagogical conditions for the implementation of a conflict prevention in high school.

National curricula are documents describing the knowledge, skills and social competences that students should acquire at the appropriate stages of education. In our article, we assume that these documents have the power to buttress the existing status quo or to change reality. Generally speaking, they are an attempt at transforming selected areas of culture in a deliberate, planned, and systemic manner. This paper, by means of  Hofstede’s 4-D model of cultural differences among societies (viz power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism versus collectivism, masculinity versus femininity), is aimed at studying the way Polish and Ukrainian national curricula define the educational processes and Teacher-Student relations, in order to reveal the correlation between the cultural differences and learning/teaching process in Poland and Ukraine. A critical discourse analysis of the two state curricula has been done to interpret their contents.

Informatization of the education system causes the active use of information and communication technologies (ICT) by the subjects of the educational process, which positively affects its effectiveness and promotes the formation of teacher’s professional competency. One of the components of professional competency is the digital competency which means the teacher’s ability of systematic, logical use of ICT, indicates its modernity, mobility and competitiveness. Despite the variety of solutions for its development, the education system of the New Ukrainian School needs to find the new ways in this direction. One of them is the development of an innovative e-learning resource - the e-platform mobiSchool, adapted to the conditions of continuous education informatization, and containing the web-tools for designing and creating the authentic electronic environments (web-prototypes) of educational institutions. Experimental implementation of mobiSchool points to positive results in the continuous improvement and development of teachers’ digital competencies. The basis of the development is the principles of accessibility, intelligibility, personal orientation, the motivation and interest formation. The specified resource is different from the similar ones: it is a cross-platform that does not require the purchase of additional equipment; users are provided with tutorial support; it is enough for users to get input from the developer; users get different access levels (administrator, teacher, student, parents); it is adaptive - for each educational institution it develops its unique web-prototype; unites and implements all the functions of educational process - educational, developing, training, stimulating (motivational) and organizational (managerial); it can be used for all forms of learning.

Fourteen children who misarticulated some phones of the /s/ phoneme were tape recorded articulating several lists of items involving /s/. The lists included the Mc-Donald Deep Test for /s/, three lists similar to McDonald’s but altered in broad context, and an /s/ sound production task. Scores from lists were correlated, compared for differences in means, or both. Item sets determined by immediate context were also compared for differences between means. All lists were found to be significantly correlated. The comparison of means indicated that both broad and immediate context were related to test result. The estimated “omega square” statistic was used to evaluate the percentage of test score variance attributable to context.
